In this example we will explore some data on exoplanets - planets outside our own solar system. The data used here is a subset of data from the NASA Exoplanet Archive.
We will start by using the data to answer some questions about the set of exoplanets in the archive. Then we will do some calculations to try to identify planets in the archive that might be capable of supporting life.
